My little book baby is turning one on May 20! And I can’t believe it’s been almost a year since I sent her out into the world.

A lot has happened since then, including finishing another manuscript, signing with my agent, and starting a new project. I’ll probably write a Substack post about all that at some point, but to be short and sweet about it, I’ve grown a lot as a writer, learned some tough lessons on publishing and marketing, and found so many writer friends along the way.

This year wouldn’t have happened without the many wonderful folks who came to my events, bought my book, wrote reviews, and encouraged people to pick this story up. I’ve been so grateful for your support!

To celebrate all that plus the one year anniversary of Somewhere Past the End, I’m giving away a signed copy!

All you need to do to enter is to follow me on Instagram and leave a comment about a book you loved last year on my Giveaway post! I’ll keep the giveaway going until June 20 to give as many people a chance to enter as possible. 🙂

On June 20, I’ll pick a random entry and then reach out to get an address for shipping.

Thanks for being here. I’m so thankful!

Surprised and delighted to see SOMEWHERE PAST THE END as a finalist in the 2025 Forewords Indies in religious fiction! See the other finalists here.

Thanks, as always, to the wonderful Apprentice House Press for making this book a reality! Winners will be announced in June.

I’ve been busy getting lots of book events scheduled for the release of SOMEWHERE PAST THE END later this month. I hope to see you at one of these events!

Thrilled to share the cover of my upcoming debut, SOMEWHERE PAST THE END! It will release 5/20/25, but you can pre-order it now anywhere books are sold! If you’re on Goodreads, I’d love it if you could add it to your ‘Want to Read’ Shelf!

We’re less than a year out from the release of SOMEWHERE PAST THE END, so I’m building a team of folks who are interested in helping promote the book as we draw closer to the release date.

The launch team will have first looks at the cover, exact release date, pre-order information, etc. I’ll also send you some fun book goodies and everyone who signs up will be entered to win a launch day literary swag bag.

In addition to enjoying the book, my hope is that the team will help ramp up interest for the book by reading it, writing a review, asking their local library to carry it, and sharing exciting book information across their online platforms. I’ll send out all information needed as it becomes available and also create sample posts and graphics the team can use.
